Bloxwich Academy would like to celebrate the graduation of the Year 10 Scholars Club pupils. Since beginning the project in March, these pupils have worked incredibly hard, with a PHD lecturer. They have attended lectures, had tutorials, completed independent research and submitted a 2000 word final assignment on Renaissance: Beauty, Genuis and Revolution.

On Thursday 3rd July, pupils were invited to attend their graduation event at Manchester University. During the day, pupils took park in feedback session in a lecture theatre, gained insights into life at university, met university ambassadors and took part in a tour of the campus.

To end the day, pupils were presented with their graduation certificate and congratulated for their hard work, resilience and achievements during the Scholars Club Programme.

Well done to you all.

Our Year 9 students had a fantastic day out at Sci-Fest hosted by the University of Wolverhampton! The event was packed with exciting, hands-on science activities and interactive displays that brought STEM to life in the most engaging way. From exploring cutting-edge technology to getting stuck into chemistry experiments and physics puzzles, there was something to spark curiosity in every corner.

Students had the chance to speak with scientists, university staff, and STEM ambassadors, giving them a real insight into future careers and the world of scientific discovery. They attended University style lectures on various scientific fields, our very own Mr Bhatti got invited on stage to take part with L. Peers (9T1) in a demonstration.

Huge thanks to the University of Wolverhampton for such a well-organised, educational, and fun experience. We can’t wait to go back next year!

This week, selected KS3 pupils attended the Big Bang Fair at the NEC in Birmingham. Pupils got to see and take part in experiments and workshops in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and learn about careers relating to each subject. At the fair, there were flying footballs; robotic dogs; BBC broadcasting stations; dry ice-powered tracks; plant sensors; virtual reality games and AI technologies… just to name a few! It was a brilliant afternoon that pupils and staff both enjoyed. Well done all!
